Overview

About 4b

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4b is a semi-detached house in Pavenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7PP). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 805 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 60), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £222,000 sits 228.9% above the 2010 sale of £67,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 51.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4b is modelled from its 75 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 7PP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 4b. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4b was lodged in October 2009 at band F and expired in October 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 4b. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 28 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 7PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4b is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
